The vertex is (-1,1)
Explanation
The vertex formula to find the x coordinate of the formula is -b/2a
So we plug in the values into the formula which is
-4/2(2)
Simplify it
-4/4
=-1
-1 is now the x cord of the vertex.
So now we will plug in the x into the quadratic equation which is 2x^2+4x+3
2(-1)^2 + 4(-1) + 3 = 2 -4 +3
Simplify it
5 - 4= 1
Y=1
So the Coordinates of the vertex is (-1,1)
-7x + 12 is not an equiv. expression because one of the - signs in the original expression has been changed to +.
Answer:
24 because you get more pencils to use in case one breaks.
